Karl, if you are having trouble with dcgrib, then it sounds like you are not running at least patchlevel 12 of the GEMPAK distribution made available this past July. The problem with satellite data was addressed with the garp 2.1 patch14 and the imar2gm.f routine both announced to the gembud email list. If you have not installed these gempak patches, then we should get you caught up to the present with a complete pl15 distribution. Let me know if this is the case, or if you have installed the above referenced gempak patches and still have trouble.
